[edit] Redundant stub

I was wondering if this stub should exist, given that there is another entry for Samba. The disambiguation page lists two types of Samba dance/music (plus a type of software, which is fair enough). I believe these should be combined in the same entry, maybe mentioning ballroom samba in the previous entry. I am very new to Wikipedia, so I won't change this right now (will need to find out if approapriate and how to do it first), but if you see what I mean and want to change it now, it would be great. Thanks. (Will add this comment to the other Samba page too). —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnandaLima (talkcontribs) 08:36, 28 May 2004

There is an immense amount of what can be written both about dance and music, and totally different thangs. So the articles must be separate. Mikkalai 23:35, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

Here's a samba carneval photo that could be used to illustrate the article, in case people consider it appropriate. I'm not sure if it would add much value in terms of information contents, but at least it would make the article more colourful. :) --Jonik 12:28, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
